News From April 2003

The long awaited and much anticipated Foundation European Vacation tour is about to kick off! Ethan Fowler, Corey Duffel, Daniel Shimizu and Leo Romero are going to a smorgasbord of European countries. Which include (but not limited to) England, Belgium, Holland, Russia, Germany and France. In that order! May 13th - June 10th. Below are the dates and locations that you can expect to see the mighty F in person.

It's happening!!! The time has come!!! We've always had ass kicking skaters in the mid-Atlantic, now we have a bunch of ass kicking pools and bowls to skate! Come out and see the best pool and bowl skaters at the Deathbox Mid-Atlantic Pool and Bowl Championship Series.

Several great skateparks, with awesome pools and bowls, have been popping up throughout the mid-Atlantic. To take advantage of the great parks and the growing hoard of pool and bowl skaters, Curt Kimbel and Jay Westcott, with tons of support from Deathbox, Surfrider, and several others, are organizing a three contest series for skateboarders of all ages and abilities.

Ricky______ the blank! Ricky the scandalish. Ricky the winner. Ricky comes to us from a far, far away land, where cheaters never win and winners never cheat. A land of cliche and honesty. None the less Ricky______ is the winner for the Ruckus box for March. Congrats Ricky_____! He is very excited and wants this victory to be one of great moral fiber, one of the willing, if you will. He wins a set of the new Ruckus Low Pro trucks in hornet yellow, a patended Ruckus multi tool, 2 tees, a cap, and some stickers. Woohoo. Ricky is from Florida and will be getting his package very soon.

If you too want to be unscandalish and free of guilt, then enter the contest. Just use the Ally oop menu and click on contests, duh!
